I haven't been to the aquarium yet. Funny how the folks from the place you wanna go are the last people to see the main attractions.

I've been to the GA Aquarium more times than I can remember. We were members for the 1st year they were opened and went there at least once a month. Since then, we've been back a half dozen times over the years. In fact, I just took my son there last Friday. Its definitely a good time, although, right now, they are going through some transitions. They took out the sea lions and penguins and are replacing it with a huge dolphin exhibit. That won't be done until 2010.

Ben, they've got a promotion running until the end of the year that is right up your alley. It would only be $21.25 for you and both kids with parking included. I'll PM you details.

Have you taken then VIP/ backstage tour as well. That's the one I want, I'm such a need to know and want to know how things work kinda guy. Is that tour worth while? Penguins.... seen them in Montreal and Toronto... a little too bad but hey what can I do..

Tell me about it, being in Canada's capital we have tons to do and my wife and I are always saying...what should we do. Like a boat tour down the canal, visit the Parliament buildings (again did it in school) all our National museums....it's tough to justify the Parliaments cause I see them from my desk at work and that means while I visit them I'll think crap work is just there

Never done the backstage tour. I've heard it is cool though. You won't be missing much with the penguins gone. It was a pretty pathetic penguin exhibit anyway. The real attraction at the GA Aquarium is the large Ocean Tank with the whale sharks, manta rays, giant groupers, hammerhead sharks, etc. I go straight for it every time I visit and spend the most time there.

What's in Brunswick?

Well besides me.......lets see, we got the Georgia Pig for some smoked BBQ that will make your tongue slap your brains out, we got dirt track races, pick-up trucks, georgia peaches and vidalia onions, horses, fishing, beer, bubba burgers, alligators, spanish moss, we got a tree just for kissing your honey under, swamps for the poor, marshes for the rich, we have lots of sharks at our beaches so you jump in the ocean to visit the aquarium here, heck, its just a whole country song everyday, the whole nine yards all rolled into one big Hoot!!!!! We do have this thing called a sand gnat but I"ll tell you about that later.

I like to take the ladies down to the beach and watch the submarines go by.....if we dont see any by nightfall then we play this game I call submarine......sure can't do that in Atlanta.

RT1--we were not beaten we were simply outnumbered, the South will Rise Again.
